Maternity Session

From the first email I knew I would feel connected and comfortable with Casey and her family. I like to spend time learning about the families I work with, and Casey poured her heart out to me. I sat in bed one evening, tears quietly escaping my eyes, reading about the depth and beauty of her family. All the way from South Carolina, we connected in T-town and I couldn't be more thrilled to know her family. She let me into their world...the way her heart feels about being a mama, the special relationship Emmy and RJ have that gives her goosebumps, their love story that started at the age of 15, their deep passion to pour into and love on college students...I could go on, but I think their gallery speaks for itself.

While Emmy hammed it up for me and sought her parents for comfort, I watched them open up more and more. At one point, I had Casey and RJ looking at each other, the sun shining brilliantly behind them, and we all just burst out laughing. There was so much love there that day and in their family. I feel their excitement as they wait for their December blessing to arrive.
